Book Description
Discover Your True Worth in Christ. What comes to mind when you hear the word masterpiece? Perhaps you think of a beautiful painting, a spectacular home renovation, or a captivating sunset. But few of us would describe ourselves with that word. We tend to listen instead to the lies that define us as rejected, unwanted, less than, ugly, stupid, or a failure. Sometimes we can feel more like worthless junk than a valuable masterpiece. Yet that is exactly what God's Word says that we are! In For His Glory, Marian Jordan Ellis leads us in an in-depth study of Ephesians to help us dismantle the lies we've believed about ourselves and replace them with a new identity built on God's Word. The truths in this beloved epistle speak to the core beliefs we carry about ourselves, revealing to us our part in God's magnificent design to redeem a people for Himself who reflect His glory to the world. Drawing on her own journey of transformation and her passion to equip women to overcome shame, insecurity, inferiority, and condemnation, Marian invites us on a journey to discover our true worth in Christ, our status as beloved children of God, and our glorious calling as His masterpiece. Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a Leader Guide and DVD. Bible Study Features: A six-week, verse-by-verse study of Ephesians with seven group sessions. Helps women discover how Jesus can take their broken and make it beautiful. Workbook includes five lessons for every week of study. DVD features the dynamic Bible teaching of Marian Jordan Ellis in six 20-25 minute segments. Praise for For His Glory Marian Jordan Ellis skillfully explores the great truths from the letter to the Ephesians and invites women to discover their unshakeable identity in Christ. She challenges us to see ourselves as God does--loved, chosen, redeemed, and yes...worth dying for. For His Glory beckons you to rest in God's extravagant love and hear Him declare you "His masterpiece"! Lisa Mahan, Global Director of Women's Ministry, Second Baptist Church, Houston, Texas Marian expands our understanding of the timeless words of Paul to an ancient culture that struggled and wrestled so many issues that are our same struggles today. This study will challenge you, equip you, and leave you ready to live out your purpose with renewed passion, living fully for the glory of God.

Book Description
Being is greater than doing. We all come into the world with a certain emptiness in our lives—an emptiness that leads to a search for meaning. And the world tells us that search for meaning can be solved by doing. Unfortunately, an overemphasis on doing has led many people away from cultivating an interior life that allows them to sustain their exterior life. This explains the many failures we continuously see in day-to-day life. When a person’s inner life—who he or she is—is not prepared, that person's character does not have the maturity or the strength to sustain them in the long run. In this book, Miguel Núñez points us to Scripture and experience to show us how being is more important than doing. He teaches us how to cultivate the foundations of our lives, so that we can be what we need to be, in order to do what we need to do.

Book Description
Who am I? What am I here for? Does anyone love me? Do I have worth? Adversity can lead to doubt on the deepest levels: compared to others who have it "all together," our lives, with our difficulties, can seem beyond our ability to deal with daily tasks, let alone bigger topics like purpose, love, or faith. Daniel Ritchie was born facing a unique kind of adversity: he was born without arms. Yet after he surrendered his life to Christ as a young man, he learned that only in Christ could true worth and purpose be found--freeing him from others' comparisons and restrictions to live a full life that seemed impossible. Daniel's story will teach you to tackle life's challenges with grace and creativity--as he shows you how to see your life through Christ's eyes.

Book Description
Whether I had to be taken into sleeplessness, loss of appetite, spiritual pressure, or financial deficit, I learned that the discipline of God is always consistent. Indeed, he is "not a respecter of persons" (Romans 2:11). Not only is his discipline consistent across the board, for all of his children, so is his reward for their pleasing and faithful behavior. Walking in obedience to his wooing and to his word pays dividends for this life and for eternity (1 Corinthians 3:9-15)! My story is only beginning in this book. Its focus is, indeed, about the phenomenal ways in which Holy Spirit has been the core driver of my life's circumstances and situations. No, not in interfering with my "free will," but using my life circumstances and choices to influence his sovereign will and plan for me. Indeed, he knows the plans he has for me which are to give me a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Though that verse was directed specifically to the children of Israel, it can certainly be generalized as applicable to all of us. My desire, above all, is that this book will encourage the hopeless. But it is also my desire to emphasize that God is not our genie, Santa Claus, or slot machine. If we choose to walk in willful perpetual disobedience, the consequences are punishments, not rewards. I learned that truth the "hard way!"

Book Description
The untold and inspiring story of Eric Liddell, hero of Chariots of Fire, from his Olympic medal to his missionary work in China to his last, brave years in a Japanese work camp during WWII Many people will remember Eric Liddell as the Olympic gold medalist from the Academy Award winning film Chariots of Fire. Famously, Liddell would not run on Sunday because of his strict observance of the Christian sabbath, and so he did not compete in his signature event, the 100 meters, at the 1924 Paris Olympics. He was the greatest sprinter in the world at the time, and his choice not to run was ridiculed by the British Olympic committee, his fellow athletes, and most of the world press. Yet Liddell triumphed in a new event, winning the 400 meters in Paris. Liddell ran--and lived--for the glory of his God. After winning gold, he dedicated himself to missionary work. He travelled to China to work in a local school and as a missionary. He married and had children there. By the time he could see war on the horizon, Liddell put Florence, his pregnant wife, and children on a boat to Canada, while he stayed behind, his conscience compelling him to stay among the Chinese. He and thousands of other westerners were eventually interned at a Japanese work camp. Once imprisoned, Liddell did what he was born to do, practice his faith and his sport. He became the moral center of an unbearable world. He was the hardest worker in the camp, he counseled many of the other prisoners, he gave up his own meager portion of meals many days, and he organized games for the children there. He even raced again. For his ailing, malnourished body, it was all too much. Liddell died of a brain tumor just before the end of the war. His passing was mourned around the world, and his story still inspires. In the spirit of The Boys in the Boat and Unbroken, For the Glory is both a compelling narrative of athletic heroism and a gripping story of faith in the darkest circumstances.
